100% natural, highly protective, and luxurious packaging material to substitute single-use plastics.

RAIKU has developed a breakthrough 100% natural packaging material. We are part of the LVMH business accelerator and have attracted strong interest from major luxury brands. RAIKU’s mission helps to improve the industry that generates hundreds of millions of tons of packaging waste every year.

We’ve won multiple international awards, including the Luxe Pack Green Award, Milan Packaging Week Avant-Garde award, raised €1.1M from investors, and secured €8.8M in support from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator.

RAIKU’s material is 100% compostable, highly protective, and aesthetically beautiful, designed to replace single-use plastics and other high carbon footprint materials. RAIKU’s technology minimises environmental impact with zero chemicals, full compostability, and 10x less deforestation.

Packaging is a €1T global industry reliant on polluting single-use plastics and resource-intensive materials. Even with Europe’s 70% recycling target by 2030, 30M tonnes of waste will remain per year. RAIKU provides a radical solution that is safe for nature after use.

RAIKU springs are flexible and protective, thanks to their innovative design. Beyond their protective capabilities, they combine a luxurious feel with a funky touch. Thoroughly tested, they prevent damage, leave no dust, and ensure everything arrives in perfect condition. Made from 100% natural wood, they’re among the materials with the lowest environmental footprint and can be disposed of in biowaste—or even returned to nature, where they nourish the soil.

RAIKU has developed multiple products - individual springs, a mat, a wrapping material and custom wine boxes with RAIKU's cushioning. They are perfect for shipping beauty products, skincare, home appliances, handicraft, wines & spirits etc. Available in various sizes and toughness levels, they’re built to match your needs. Customers love their unique design, making every unboxing beautiful, safe, and sustainable.
